18 July 2024 - A day packed with thrilling qualification rounds and heats that saw a number of World and European leads.
Slovakia’s Laura Frličková thrilled the home crowd as she stormed to a European U18 best in the 100m hurdles. There were also impressive times in the men’s 110m hurdles where France’s Lucas Domergue, 15, set a European U18 lead in winning heat four. Convincing wins also by Estonia’s Tristan Konso and Kyan Daniel Duffy Escalona from Italy.
In the women’s 100m heats, Miia Ott set a European U18 lead and Bulgaria’s Radina Velichkova set a national U18 best.

Great Britain’s Joel Masters and Italy’s Francis Pala with a personal best were next best.
Great Britain’s Thea Brown is the overnight leader of the women’s heptathlon after three personal bests on day 1.
